Just trying to start a conversation and see what people are interested in. Nothing special about the categories - add anything you want to talk about.

Favorites limited to ones I’ve played.

Overall: Fallen by Perplexing Ruins. Love the setting, atmosphere and mechanics. I have some quibbles about healing in the default rules but want the Fear mechanic in everything. It’s great for both groups and solo.

Combat: Lancer by Massif Pres

Solo: Broken Shores by BlackOath Entertainment. I haven’t managed to keep a PC alive for longer than an in-game week, but it’s awesome. Runner-up is Riftbreakers, also by BlackOath. Much less deadly and more heroic. Also the best run-a-group-solo that I’ve seen.

Magic system: Path of the Aram Thyr by BlackOath, again. Another solo, and I’m not a fan of the game-play loop, as written, but that is easily fixed by making your own narrative/PC goals. And the magic system is so cool.

Supplement: Lots here, but from what I’ve used in games is a tie between Into the Cess & Citadel and Into the Wyrd and Wild, both by Feral Indie.

I’ve got a large TBR/TBP pile, so a couple of things I’m very excited about: Across a Thousand Dead Worlds (BlackOath), Salvage Union (Leyline) and Goblinville (Narrative Dynamics). The current top of the TBP is Pirate Borg, Runecairn and WWN.

    No interest in 5e. My group did the PF2e started set. Not bad. I enjoyed playing an alchemist bomber. Less fun with a rogue mastermind. I did set up a Honey Heist one-shot for our group on an evening that the regular GM was busy, but too many people had to pull out that we never did it. It does look like a lot of fun.
